Steam train that goes through safari park??

[Im a BusyBee]

a friend of a friend apparently went on a steam train that took them through a safari park and they saw all the 'big' animals, they live in wales but were staying in shropshire at the time. does anyone have a link or details of such a place please as i would like to take my grandchildren? thanks so much.

The safari park is the west midlands safari park at Bewdley. The railway is the Severn Valley railway and it runs from Kidderminster to Bridgenorth. It does actually pass by the safari park after Bewdley station and sometimes you can see elephants!!

you should be able to find details of both of these attractions, but I don't know how to post a link....sorry.

Cotswald wildlife part has a train that goes through a 'large' animal zoo (can't call it a safari) think it had rinos and crocs etc....

I have travelled extensively on that steam train, and it does not go through the safari park.

It does run close to it for a few minutes and you MAY get a fleeting glimpse of the animals.

I live quite close to the severn valley railway near kidderminster, (not croydon), and it is quite a nice day out for children even if you don't go on the trains.

ethel, I didn't say it runs THROUGH the safari park, I did say it passes by it, but as we are talking about shropshire and not the cotswolds andrea it is most likely to be the west midlands safari park. :-)
